One Nation Under gods?

The wave of hatred against God and his people (AKA Christians) that is spreading across this country are truly disturbing. WorldNetDaily has an article out today about a Hindu that has opened the U. S. Senate with a Hindu prayer and the protesters that spoke out against him. I was greatly encouraged by the protesters. Here are some quotes about them from the article.

When Zed appeared in Washington his performance was interrupted by three Christians who prayed aloud in the name of Jesus during his chant.

YouTube shows Zed preparing to pray when a clear, loud voice came from the U.S. Senate gallery.

"Lord Jesus, forgive us, Father, for allowing the prayer of the wicked, which is an abomination in your sight," said a protester.

The Senate's sergeant at arms was instructed to restore order, but Zed was interrupted again.
"You shall have no other gods before you. … "


Three people were arrested for disrupting the Senate. But WND columnist Judge Roy Moore noted that wasn't the end of the story.

He reported that Ante and Katherine Pavkovic and their daughter Christan were ordered to appear in District of Columbia Superior Court, where a team from his organization, the Foundation for Moral Law represented them.

"When their case was called on Sept. 11, the prosecutor agreed to dismiss all the charges against them. Their simple trust in God's grace had touched the hearts of not only the arresting officers – who commented on what a nice family they were – but also the tough government attorneys in the Washington, D.C., justice system," he wrote.

God, embolden us all to stand against the government where necessary to defend you and your people. Help us all to remember that you are King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Help us to remember that the scriptures commanding obedience to the government does not include going along with evil. Other wise the first Christians would have gladly said, "Caesar is Lord," and rationalized it by saying, "Well, we have to obey the government."
